Family adventures have a way of creating the memories that last a lifetime — and finding the right travel trailer can make those moments even more magical. At Christie’s RV in Sault Ste. Marie, helping families and outdoor enthusiasts connect with the right travel companion is a part of what makes the journey so special. Whether it’s quiet mornings by a northern lake or rugged off-grid getaways deep in the forest, there’s an RV designed to fit every kind of explorer.

Here’s a look at some of the best options for the next chapter in your family’s adventures.

Travel Trailers: Versatile Comfort for Every Trip

Travel trailers continue to be one of the most popular choices for family getaways, offering a balance of comfort, flexibility, and ease of use. With a wide range of layouts available, it’s easy to find a travel trailer that fits the needs of couples, small families, or even larger groups looking to hit the open road together. They also come in a variety of sizes and weights, making it important to consider your towing capacity when choosing the right one. Luckily, there’s a travel trailer out there for nearly every tow vehicle! To find the best match for your setup, be sure to check out our RV Tow Guides for expert help.

One of the best parts of choosing a travel trailer is the freedom it offers. After setting up at a beautiful site like Pancake Bay Provincial Park, the tow vehicle can be used to explore nearby towns, trails, and attractions. Many modern travel trailers are even designed to support solar upgrades and off-grid camping setups, making them an excellent choice for families who want the best of both campground convenience and remote adventure.

Micro Travel Trailers: Big Adventures in a Small Package

For those who love the idea of a simpler, lighter camping experience, micro travel trailers open up a world of opportunity. Easy to tow and quick to set up, micro trailers are perfect for spontaneous trips to the shores of Lake Superior or tucked-away campsites along the Voyageur Trail.

Micro trailers still offer cozy sleeping spaces, clever storage solutions, and many feature small kitchenettes to make meal prep on the go a breeze. Their compact size makes them an ideal match for smaller vehicles, too, keeping adventures accessible to a wider range of travelers.

Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a cross-country road trip, micro travel trailers deliver big adventures without the need for a big RV.

Off-Grid Campers: Ready for Adventure, Wherever the Road Leads

For families and adventurers who hear the call of the wild, off-grid campers like the Bushwhacker Series offer the perfect blend of rugged durability and smart design. Built for boondocking and off-the-beaten-path experiences, these campers often come equipped with solar prep, reinforced frames, and all-terrain tires.

An off-grid camper lets you wake up surrounded by the untouched beauty of the wilderness, whether it’s deep within Lake Superior Provincial Park or along the backroads of Northern Ontario. Many models also feature outdoor kitchens, roof racks for kayaks or bikes, and lightweight builds that make them incredibly versatile.

Bushwhacker campers and similar models are designed for those who believe the best campsites aren’t always found on a map — creating endless possibilities for exploration.

Fifth Wheel Trailers: Spacious Comfort for Extended Adventures

When the road calls for extended stays or traveling in total comfort, fifth wheel trailers are a beautiful choice. Designed with a raised front section that connects to a truck bed, fifth wheels offer some of the most spacious layouts available.

Families looking for room to spread out will appreciate the full-sized kitchens, generous living spaces, and often multiple slide-outs that make fifth wheels feel like a true home away from home. They are perfect for seasonal stays at locations like KOA Sault Ste. Marie or even adventurous road trips across the province.

With a focus on stability while towing and luxury features like entertainment centers, master bedrooms, and large bathrooms, fifth wheels create a sense of ease and comfort that’s perfect for long adventures together.

The Right RV for Every Adventure

Choosing the right RV is all about matching it to the travel dreams ahead:

  • Travel Trailers are wonderful for families seeking flexibility and comfort.

  • Micro Trailers make weekend getaways easy and accessible.

  • Off-Grid Campers invite adventure beyond the usual campgrounds.

  • Fifth Wheel Trailers deliver unmatched space and comfort for extended trips.

Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding wilderness offer countless opportunities to explore, from the sparkling shores of Batchawana Bay to the rugged beauty along the Algoma North Shore Drive.

Every journey becomes even more special with the right RV by your side, offering the chance to build lasting memories, explore new horizons, and share unforgettable moments with loved ones.
